About this game
Barrage is a turn-based, strategic worker placement game: Engineers are the key elements of your game plan. Send Engineers to carry out different Actions, such as gathering new Machinery, managing water, building structures, and produce energy, but be careful: Action spaces are limited and shared among all players, so timing is crucial to avoid opponents stealing your next move.
The game unfolds in turns; each turn, players will be able to pick just one Action at a time. Engineers are few, and the more powerful an Action, the more Engineers it needs, so managing your workers carefully is the fundamental aspect of every gameplay.
Every corporation is unique in its own, and unlocks different rewards as the game progresses. Plus, every CEO has a special passive power that can be unlocked to maximize energy production, profits, or resource management.
But that’s not all: CEOs are assisted by Executive Officers, useful helpers which heavily impacts the gameplay rules and results in very different play styles. Experiment with different CEOs and XOs to find the ones that fits you best, or draft them at the beginning of the game for more unpredictability.
Objectives, Energy Contracts, and Technologies are randomly chosen from all available possibilities, ensuring a unique experience every time you play. This element of randomness fosters replayability, making each game a new challenge to overcome and forcing you to adapt your planning and strategy.
Dive into the uchronic world of Barrage, redesigned for a better gaming experience on PC, without waiving the beautiful visual language of the board game. Actions, resources, and the captivating visual elements of the board game have been preserved to charm experienced players and new ones alike.
Whether you want to challenge players worldwide or enjoy a solo game, you won’t be disappointed. The online mode allows you to compete against players from around the world. If you prefer a more personal experience instead, the offline mode lets you enjoy the game at your own pace, customizing factions, XOs, and other options.
